@KathyLauren it’s surprising how much Shingles shots hurt.  Just wait until tomorrow if you think it hurts now. 

 

 

Fortunately, it is not nearly as bad today! :)

Just had 7AM breakfast served at church. Joined another "men's mission group", unsure how to easy break it to them there's a woman "admirer" in their mist . . . why sooo 'gendered', always "separate"?

I was still trying to live in that world when I finally realized that I had practically nothing in common with them.

 I just don't get along very well with men.  I mean there's no antagonism, but it's always just, why? 

I stopped trying to live up to the guy thing.  It was very liberating.

Perhaps a new thread?

It is an interesting subject if folks can keep it civil.

lol          Not trying to "live up" rather "bed down" one? "Cis" that is . . although "G" would be ok , younger even better? Ya know B&B did had a point . . and these forums tend to remind me "how different" I am daily?

I should be making coffee and/or resetting my WiFi right now but no...I'm laying on my bed thinking about Jane cause Monday finally means new Weakest Link.
 

It's been a long, Janeless month and I'm more than ready to see her again. (Yeah, I'm in love with Jane Lynch. Nuff said.)

Cheerleading coach. But I'm not just in love with Sue and/or her other characters. I'm also in love with Jane herself to some extent, weird as that sounds.

Nah, I think we all have or have had our celebrity crushes. For example, I had a huge crush on Carolyn Jones (as Morticia Addams) growing up.

 

Hugs!

@Jackie C.Oh, I figured I wasn't alone. I mean, it's not just a physical attraction to her - I have a deep, emotional attachment to her too.

Funny thing is, I've known Jane since watching Glee when I still had Netflix, but I didn't fall for her till the Weakest Link reboot premiered back in September. Even more interesting is that I was in love with the original host, Anne Robinson, too.

Well I had my meeting with hr and it went amazing. She was great. We came up with a plan to move forward. We talked for 2 hours and I was assured mean comments will not be tolerated at. 

Emily, I'm so happy your HR personnel were smart enough to meet you off premises, and support you. 

 

As for the R-Model Mack I worked on and under them for along time before I had to use creativity to get them off road to help clean up train derailments or our own CLTL crashes. 

 

@AngelaC & @Kiera I enjoyed my time as a wrench monkey, and so did the 'Snap On' tool salesperson who I'm sure put at least one kid through college on the money he made at our shop. I also had the pleasure of working with several girl mechanics and think it's cool. #GirlMotorHeadsRock! 

 

The coffee fee was HOT, black and strong. The bird feeder activity was slow, I think because we're having mild weather for this time of year.

 

Hugs,

Nandi, I'm with you on this. Shedding my guy mode is very liberating and I'm loving it.

It’s 11am here and I got up an hour ago. I can sleep regardless of the ‘every two hour’ interruptions to take my medications. I fall almost immediately back to sleep.

 

My wife went to the office this morning and brought back two Mocha Latté’s. While she was there she mentioned to the desk person that the recliner is extremely difficult to close and that I hurt myself yesterday trying to do it myself. This caused me a lot of bleeding and pain. They just came in and replaced the recliner with an ‘easy to extend and close’ model. Oh, what a difference! So I’m just resting here comfortably in my new recliner checking out what’s new here!?

 

Have a great day everyone,

Susan R?

Glad to hear you're on the mend. Just lay back and be a princess for as long as it takes.

@Jackie C. Thank you so much. I’m being completely spoiled by my wife. She has a few hours of massages owed to her when this is all over and those services open up again. I couldn’t do this without her.

@itsxanderkaidyn I loved Jane in the ‘L Word’. She is an incredible actress and I just love her feisty ‘quick with answers’ attitude...nobody does it better!

@CBabe Glad you enjoyed yourself last night...lookin’ good!?

...so I write about Jane a lot but I haven't been able to recently cause somebody totally invalidated my feelings for her last month and now I'm too scared to without feeling like I'm doing something wrong.
 

@Susan RI started watching that recently just for her part in it but I'm not quite there yet. 
 

...also is it weird that I find her voice to be almost like a form of ASMR?

Not really, some people just have voices that... resonate (I'm sorry for that, I really am) with you. For example, I could listen to Gabrielle Anwar (especially without her faking an American accent) talk me to sleep every night. I just find her voice relaxing.

 

Hugs!

I've noticed over the last year or so I have lost interest in a lot of the "manly" hobbies I've acquired over the years.  To the pointy I have several workshops full of "stuff" that I'll probably never touch again.

@Jackie C.Oh good, I'm not alone.
 

It's one reason why I love watching Jane on Weakest Link so much - cause she gets to talk most of the time, I mean, and then I feel like I'm being hugged by her. ?

 

...sorry. She just makes me so emotional sometimes; like, I have more love for her than my heart can hold.

My daughter does ASMR videos on her YouTube, and I'm still not sure what they're doing.

      You're welcome. I wanted to post something new that I haven't posted yet.   
    • Ashley0616
      That's a lot of weight congratulations. I was almost about to become a K9 handler in the Air Force back in 2006 but I found out that once you get promoted to E7 you lose your dog. You can get it at E4 as long as they need them but it is usually E5. If you don't understand military jargon, I'll help you out. I didn't want to join the Marines because I actually like to be treated better. I was Security Forces and performed security, law enforcement and everything you could think of such as convoying, fire fights, search pit just to name some. It also helped that I had family that was Air Force and I went through Air Force Junior Reserves Officer Training Corps so I knew the basics of Air Force already. That's awesome that you have goals in life. I hope you get it.

      Not sure what category I'd call this—don't care—I like American music. Any American. Thanks, @Ashley0616

      @FelixThePickleManTrust me I know the feeling. I didn't have the guts to come out that young. It wasn't well known back then. I knew I felt completely wrong. I knew for sure my parents weren't going to help me so I hid it all. It hurt a lot to live a lie. I always pretended to be the female that I was dating. I prayed and cried every night. It's not easy because bullying has always been around and the teachers didn't really care about that stuff back then.    You can make it through this. I would like to help you out just like I have with previous members. It's going to be up to you if you would like it. It's not going to happen overnight I can promise you that. For every negative thing or comment it typically needs double the number for positive things to feel better about yourself. You unfortunately are living with your parents which they are getting used to you coming out too. Sometimes coming out you're going to lose a lot of support. I lost over 40 family members but I'm happier than what I was. I still look at the mirror and still have my issues which is typical because we know our own faults and short comings. You have to value yourself. There isn't going to be an easy life. We all face many obstacles and it's harder for the ones that have something else to deal with.   We aren't in the same boat as some people are in yachts, cruise ships, and so on. There are perks and cons to each one. The best thing is to find something that you are great at and focus on that while trying to improve on the little things. Some have rituals everyday such as a new Bible verse that is related to what you are going through or a poem there are many poems for everything.

      G'day @Vivelacors   Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums, I hope you find this place as informative and helpful as I do.   Best wishes, stay positive, and safe,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Tonight we will split a thick cut ribeye steak grilled outside, along with fresh asparagus shoots, apple sauce, and fresh cucumber salad. The steak has already been seasoned, wrapped in butcher paper resting to room temperature. The cucumber salad is blended and resting in the refrigerator.   Tomorrow's dinner will be Chicken drumsticks (skin on) that are already marinating in Zesty Italian dressing. Tomorrow I will smoke the drumsticks with apple-wood smoke, before crisping them up on the grill. We'll also have grilling beans, and garlic mashed potatoes.   The outside kitchen is now open.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Clutching of pearls because people that don’t “align with society” party to excess is part of the problem, not a symptom of one. Cis-het folks are out there airing their sexuality, reveling in their debauchery, and displaying general anti-social behaviors all the time but aren’t reacted to in the same manner.   The most important T in this conversation is Time. As long as there is not a fascist, violent, crackdown on LGBTQ+ people, our exposure to society (at least in Western society) will continue to move it towards our acceptance.

      I have three within a two block walk! You'd think I was in Seattle already! The one I have always gone to is the quintessential "local coffee shop" though; local artist's works on the wall, drinks named after customers and local geography, and it's run down just enough to feel homey. Also, I can bring my 20oz coffee mug in and get it filled for the price of a small! :D

      Eczema was my excuse. *high fives!*   It's lovely when you get a nice interaction like that. Yesterday I got a "you're so sweet" from a man who I held the door for, I don't think he saw all of me until after he'd walked past so he only picked up on my outfit and body appearance. I was so paranoid that I used too male of a voice in return, but c'est la vie. I felt really nice after it though.   I tend to try to put in a lot of effort. If I wear make up, it has to be perfect, etc. I put this pressure on myself because I, too, don't have a chance in h-e-double hockey sticks at "passing".  So, I try not to make myself an "easy target".

      It's just the opposite here.  There are a ton of local boutique coffee roasters in this area.  There is no excuse for bad coffee here, which is why I am always surprised when I get mediocre truck-stop coffee in restaurants.

      It’s a huge difference, the laser has done wonders. I still have some stragglers, but I hope a few more sessions to try to zap those. Mostly what’s left are the white/blonde hairs, they still need a shave but they don’t really cause me much dysphoria.   I do use makeup, I barely go out without liner and mascara these days. Don’t tend to do a full face, but when I go for a little coverage I use tinted moisturizer and a little concealer under setting powder. Here’s me today, with about as much makeup as I go out with (forgive me the wings, I struggled today…), I went and got my hair done, so I had to look good for the ladies.

      This is me as well. I wear dresses and skirts exclusively.  That is pretty obvious.  When I get misgendered, it's not by mistake.
